Bloodline

Down on the banks of the little stream
Not so far from our home
You never know what's waiting there
So better not go alone
Come with me my little one
And see how time unfolds
Hear the reeds sing in the wind
All our stories untold

Down on the banks of the little stream
Take your time to get in
A lover's knot and a glint of gold
A cold hand under skin
Wave goodbye my pretty one
Our time will come again
We'll change the path in the song we sing
But our blood stays the same

Waiting for me by the prison door
Your footsteps in the snow
Vapor trails in a cloudless sky
The nameless towns below
Shake your head my lovely one
I'll meet you on the road
Where the reeds sing in the wind
And no one else ever goes
